TP out, Tiago doubtful vs. Dallas tonight

The Spurs have announced that All-Star point guard Tony Parker is out and backup forward/center Tiago Splitter is doubtful for tonight’s game against Dallas at the AT&T Center.

Parker sustained a strained left hamstring in the Spurs’ 116-100 victory over Minnesota Wednesday night. Splitter is suffering from the effects of a mid-back strain.

Parker was removed with 8:05 left in the second quarter after notching six assists in 10 minutes of game action. He did not return after he was escorted to the dressing room by trainer Will Sevening and team doctors.

Splitter had one of his most versatile games of the season against the Timberwolves, despite the injury as he notched 11 points, seven rebounds and a career-high five assists.

Parker’s absence will mean that Gary Neal will receive the bulk of the minutes at point guard against the Mavericks.

Spurs forward Matt Bonner, who missed Wednesday’s game with back spasms, will play tonight in the first game of the team’s first back-to-back-to-back.
